i'm doing a condensed version of the
Max-hydration method. Because of my hectic schedule, i don't have the
time for the cherry lola treatments, betonite clay treatments, etc.

I have only one day - actually a few hours to work with my hair.

Thus, every friday night,

i spritz my hair with ACV, wrap it up for about an hour while i'm on the treadmill/elliptical trainer.

then do a co-wash with KCC/trader joes moisturizing conditioner

rinse,

then use the KCC conditioner sectioning the hair with a leave-in of choice

put it in a poodle turd, that's a braid tucked under and deep condition over night.

i've practiced this for over 2 months, since PinkCube was so kind to give us this great info. for 4c hair.

All of the bald spots that i have grown in. The right temple is taking longer, but i'll be patient.

Otherwise, my hair stays moist, and i can really see the tiny coils of 4c hair when i take it down.

I used to lose at least a palm-full of hair whenever i did a take down - 2'ce a week.. that's a lot of hair.

now,it's just a few strands at best. not even dime-sized.

Thanks Pink Cube. We 4c's don't have to look for the "holy grail" of hair anymore..

for a while, i actually thought i had alopecia, i was losing so much hair in a very, very dry climate.

Wow, femmemuscleisback it's great to hear that!
That is awesome! This is the kind of stuff i love to hear that it is
working well for people! I'm very happy to spread this info, it makes me
happy to see fellow 4c and other type 4 naturals finally getting real
solid improvement in their journeys! Thank for sharing this! Do you mind
pasting this into the MHM post so ppl their can see this testimony as
well?

I decided to give the MHM a try. Went out and bought all the ingredients today and this ish isn't cheap. Now I'm sitting here with the Modified Cherry Lola Treatment on. I made the biggest mess trying to apply it. My husband said it smelled like you could eat it lol. I hope it works!

Hmm. I never really thought I would actually notice whether or not my hair liked a product or not but today I figured it out. At least with conditioner.

I started out with VERY moisturized hair from a twistout from today.

Got in the shower and wet my hair while it was all down, no scrunchies/sections and I got no tangling.

Put my oil in after wetting my hair. Still not tangling.

Then I split my hair in half and proceeded to use my conditioner on one half and my hair immediately started shrinking up and tangling. I didn't use conditioner on the other half and it didn't tangle anywhere near as badly as the other side.

So I separated both halves and twisted and braided my hair into 3.

But only the side I did not use condish was able to be braided.

The other side was too tangled.

So, guess I learned how to figure out which conditioners work for me at least.

I decided to do the big chop after 8 months post relaxer. I figured I needed to go all in. I am liking that I have less tangles and haven't had to use a comb in a few days. Just finger combing seems to work out just fine.

Random thought... I noticed that black men look at me differently. Not sure what it is.
